Will Tyler be drafted into the NBA draft and if so when? He is currently not listed in most mock simulations, but if he keeps playing like he is at some point he will probably be added. The answer when depends if he has the potential to keep getting better and where is he projected to be selected in the draft. This is a very important point, because there is a huge difference in career earnings between 1st and 2nd round picks. Not only do first round picks get substantially more income per year and longer guarantees, they also stay in the league longer. One study of 2nd round picks over a 10 year period show that less than 3 quarters of 2nd round players make it to the NBA and only 26% make it past the 3rd year.
Tyler has improved significantly each year at U of R and currently has one of the best 3 point shooting forms in college. He has the highest potential to play in the NBA from Richmond since Johnny Newman. I don’t think he has peaked and has the potential someday to be a 1st rounder. I hate mentioning areas of potential improvement for a player at such a high level, but imagine if he perfected driving to the basket like the guy from NC State. He would be unstoppable and average in the mid 20s.
I think he will be a 1st round pick, but very low probability it is this year. There is a high probability we will have him at least one more year and it is going to be a lot of fun watching him both at Richmond and hopefully in the NBA.
BTW, if he does come back next year we could have a pretty good team with some quality guys coming off the bench.
